Soil Nitrogen, Water Content, Microbial Biomass, and Archaeal, Bacterial and Fungal Communities from the East River Watershed, Colorado collected in 2016-2017.
Description
This data set contains soil measurements made at the Pumphouse Hillslope to Floodplain transect at the locations of the early snowmelt-timing manipulation experiments in the East River Watershed in Colorado, USA. The data were collected in 2016 and 2017 to determine soil microbial responses to snow accumulation, snowmelt, and transition from winter to spring. Some additional data from the Washington Gulch snowmelt manipulation experiment lcoations are also included here. Data were collected on soil cores collected in the field at three soil depths (0 to 5 cm, 5 to 15 cm, 15 cm +) below the soil surface and analyzed in the on homogenized samples with roots and gravel removed. Data include gravimetric soil water content (48 hr oven-dried) and soil pH measurements (1:1 w/vol in ddH2O), dissolved nitrogen pools measured in soil extracts (2M KCl extractant), microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen (0.5M K2SO4 extractant), and archaeal, bacterial, and fungal species determined by Illumina 300 bp paired-read marker gene sequencing (16S rDNA for archaea and bacteria and ITS for fungi).
